Afternoon, all. Since I know I'm not the only bronco brother running an Explorer EFI swap, and I'd love to get some input before I keep throwing money at my issue.
Basically engine seems to studder/hesitate but only when taking off, once its going it pulls like no ones business. It only really seems to occur at or just above idle and it does seem to be more pronounced when its cold.
So far, I've ran fuel injector cleaner through it, replaced the inline filter (pump is external), cleaned and replaced the MAF sensor all to no avail (I also individually cleaned/tested each injector before I installed engine. I also ran it with a fuel pressure gauge on the rail and it stayed rock solid around 35psi regardless of throttle position. Does anyone have any other ideas to try before I go replacing costly fuel injectors and/or fuel pump? Everything I've read points to a fuel pump issue but my pressure shows ok, so I'm not sure...
